thanks velendil ,

Great atmosphere!

This will surely win, since that main photo in the middle isn´t from the stock material.

Nice work. Love the atmosphere. Where did you get the Cowboy Snoop photo? Works very well with the theme. Good luck. :)

thanks for the comments, is not a snoop cowboy picture as i added the cowboy hat and tweaked the clothes to make them black, i found several cowboy snoop shots that i could use but i preferd to tweak a non cowboy one, here some examples ,

for "amjayes" ,

did you checked the rules?

part of number 7 states , "You may add elements not found in the original images" ,

since the picture is an original snoop one and the winner on round one used a non provided snoop shoot i guess is all right , judges will decide anyway.

certainly a very gray area, the rules also state that you must not use copyrighted material.

hence the negative responses for the winner of round one, as he used a copyrighted image from snoop doggs video. but since its a snoop dogg contest, then clearly they have no issues with using copyrighted snoop dogg material. but in that case the stock provided should have contained much more imagery of snoop dogg, or the rules should state the exception to the copyright rule is that if its of SD then its ok.

i guess you are part right but i think it was pretty obvious after the first round results that you could use other original snoop images , i mean is a good thing for EVERYONE who understood that , if the provided shoots didnt fit your project then you can go and find the one that works for you , i could used those cowboy ones i posted the links before but that was not original promotional pictures but shoots from someone else so i was in risk of breaking the copyright rule so thats why i decided to use an old promotional snoop picture and tweak it to make it country ,

j (o;

here other people who i guess understood that way after first round results , plus many other from last 2 rounds who used snopp non provided shoots and they were no disqualified,

Why always this type competition people use some others pictures.
The point off this competition people use same pictures and some others element´s but use the main title pictures.

Like this picture it is good looking, the snoop picture is working 100% whit the theme.
But is it fair to use it?

Good luck.

of course andreas :) look at the winner at first round... :)

Only the idea is a bit nice... but the other is not that nice... more work is needed bro ... i'm currently workin as creative director in one big ad. agency and i know which is good and witch not...so take my advice and work harder on that...

true words : Ugly ;)

Artful creative director in one big ad. agency. Can I see your portfolio?

well acutally..no i'll stay anon. for a reason...and sorry if i hurt you bro but...i can't say something is beautiful when IT'S NOT! ;)

very creative,...man,. how many hours did it take 4 you to make that???....looks good on the wall for sure

hi Jhonny ... in case that is your real name wich i really doubt, thanks for your comments , why dont you show us your entry ? i can say something is beautiful when it is trust me ,, i mean if you are that good why dont we see , mmm i guess not right ? , is ok man , all is about taste on this , you may not like my work and i understand but shure theres other people who likes it , this work took me about 2 days to finish it , same with my second entry , http://www.crestock.com/blog/design/contest2008/entry.aspx?id=7317

they could take 1 hour or 6 days to be made so whats the difference, the final result is what it counts ,

btw , here my first two round entries , what can you say about them , i would love to see all your entries but i guess your words describe your work and you just dont will show us ,

here mines ,

btw , thanks a lot for your comments duran and glimm , apreciatted.

Actally this Jhonny guy is harsh and lil'bit harsh but however...maybe you are just few more years of design and you will notice your mistakes and so on :) Check my piece if you want http://www.crestock.com/blog/design/contest2008/entry.aspx?id=7346

Jhonny's mommy didn't hug him when he was a kid, so he's turned into an angry bitter piece of sh!t. He's a loser, and always will be a loser. He's the reason why most people are pro-choice.

Sorry to shoot down what all these people have been saying, but what is up with the random women? It doesn't even make sense, mate. That along with the random rope/string/lights/woteva that is. Though I have to give major props on the text, really top notch on that. I don't think you did the best that you could have with this image, for the Snoop Dogg and text was great, but everything other than that is just utter crap. The background, women, string stuff, and border (though it does tie well with the theme, it still doesn't work imo) just drag the greatness of the fp and text.

I'd give it a 4/10

all i can say is stop thankin and commentin on ur pic

Ejnye-bejnye xericint es booo. Miert kell annyit szengeny j909-et fikazni? Szerintem egesz jol nez ki a munkaja es tobb mint valoszinu, h o fogja megnyerni:)
bee-bee:P The text above is in Hungarian language, translate it:)

great one!

thanks a lot dolgachov ,

Vectorika thanks , even that i couldnt found a proper translation i understood your happy faces :) so i guess is something nice what you wrote so thanks ,

regards ,
j (o;

yeah Hungarian translators aren't the best :-/

Mate, I gave you clear reasons on why your image needed work but you're just saying mine sucks. Doesn't make sense, mate. I recommend doing some tutorials, cause from the look of it you have great raw talent.

It is very interesting work. Very much it is pleasant to me!

huh? this is alos the overall winner?

Great job! Well deserved...I came in third, not bad either (not really expecting to win anything, but I'll take it LOL)

congratulations man!

Congratulation:)
